Water Asparagus thoroughly, allowing soil to dry out a little between waterings. Water sparingly in winter, but do not allow soil to dry out completely. Prefers moist air. Set pot on a tray of wet pebbles and mist leaves daily with room- temperature water.

If you want the Asparagus to grow larger, it will do so with repotting to larger containers; not repotting will cause problems because it quickly becomes root bound. The more frequently the repotting into larger containers, the more it will grow bigger. To contain the size of the ferns, keep the containers small but replace the soil. When repotting, cut up and divide the root ball for propagation of more Asparagus ferns.
